MR.QIN WANG
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.
I am Mr.Wang Qin, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you.
On August 6, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation, Mr. Pavel Kepak made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for
twelve calendar months, valued at US$28,000,000.00 (Twenty-eight Million
Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Pavel Kepak died
from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he
died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Pavel Kepak did
not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$28,000,000.00 is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. Pavel Kepak so that the fruits of this old man's
labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is
simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so
that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that
will put you in place as the next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 65%
for me and 30% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the
transaction . There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and with my position as the credit
officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately to my email qinwang@web-mail.com.ar Upon
your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Qin Wang.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
